A very belated birthday

August 11, 2016 by Edlyn

Right before I could share photos from my birthday trip to Shelton, WA, I got new that my uncle had passed away in Goa. As sad as it was, I felt silly writing about how wonderful a time I had walking around Matt’s second cousin’s bathtub garden in front of their home. She done a great job with it. It was the peak of spring and everything looked so new, so full of promise. I liked that.

We got similar sad news from Matt’s side of the family and considering the circumstances, it has been even more painful. I had one of my most life-affirming moments with his Aunt Agnes in the most ordinary of times. I don’t know how to describe what might seem like the most trivial thing. It wiped my anxiety slate clean and it keeps doing so when I need it the most. I’ll tell that story when the time comes. For now, here is a healing part of our world. I will miss her so.

    Edlyn, stunning, stunning pictures!

    I keep meaning to tell you, but I read your posts on my phone and its never convenient to comment, but I had to come back today to tell you – I’ve sensed a massive leap in your writing and your pictures the last couple of months. Your words are simple, but intensely expressive and always reach deep inside me and resonate in ways not too much writing on the internet does.

    I barely read any blogs anymore, but I keep coming back to yours for your simple, unpretentious, honest work. I hope you’ll keep going. I loved the newsletter idea. You do you <3

      Oh my goodness. SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU. Hahah I know exactly how it is. I can’t comment on my phone because I can never remember my wordpress password and yes I can be anonymous but then I’ll be like the egg on Twitter. Thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes when I write the words flow so easily that I feel like I’m doing something wrong. It’s nice to know it’s the opposite.
      I’ve always loved your work and food blog, which I used to refer to so many people. So yes, you were one of my inspirations in the beginning and so THANK YOU.
